The HANGING VALLEY

Robinson, Peter. THE HANGING VALLEY.  McClelland & Stewart, 1989.

The joke's on me. Bought at the library book sale, but the final pages missing. Could not find a full copy in library or bookstore. Luckily, the plot ended fairly completely.

This is such an early Peter Robinson. And I love the title, a geology term. A body found near a waterfall, close to a B&B where another unsolved murder happened ten years earlier. Banks is still married; Gristhorpe is still his boss. A trip to Toronto is part of the investigation.

Loved it. Miss this writer.
